Spent some time tonight thinning out the limbs and getting them to bend evenly.  Thanks for the great tool to get the bow to brace height.  I had a few scrap pieces so I whipped one out.  I think it's bending much better than it was @ OJAM but I am by no means in a hurry.

Here's a sneak peak.

Did a bit of work today and now you can see @ 4 1/2" brace height the top limb doesn't want to track at the flip.  No cracking and croaking so far.

Lookin good Goose, it is bending much better than at Ojam. I think that thing may just turn into a bow.
Did Will get his shooting?
You can't build bows in an area like the last picture, you have to have yeller dust and shavings piled high. Maybe thats only my shop.

Did some work on the holy bow today and had a buddy come along as well with his.  My buddy and I were able to get his bow to brace height (I know there are some trials ahead with his).

On the holy bow we got it to a 6 1/2" brace height and it looks good.  Way funky unstrung profile with all but the flipped tip on the holy limb being natural.  I'm liking how it's turning out so far.  Critiques welcomed!
